The MAX9736A/B/D Class D amplifiers provide high-performance, thermally efficient amplifier solutions. The MAX9736A delivers 2 x 15W into 8Ω loads, or 1 x 30W into a 4Ω load. The MAX9736B/D deliver 2 x 6W into 8Ω loads or 1 x 12W into a 4Ω load.

These devices operate from 8V to 28V and provide a high PSRR, eliminating the need for a regulated power supply. The MAX9736 offers up to 88% efficiency at 12V supply.

Pin-selectable modulation schemes select between filterless modulation and classic PWM modulation. Filterless modulation allows the MAX9736 to pass CE EMI limits with 1m cables using only a low-cost ferrite bead and capacitor on each output. Classic PWM modulation is optimized for best audio performance when using a full LC filter.

A pin-selectable stereo/mono mode allows stereo operation into 8Ω loads or mono operation into 4Ω loads. In mono mode, the right input op amp becomes available as a spare device, allowing flexibility in system design. Comprehensive click-and-pop reduction circuitry minimizes noise coming into and out of shutdown or mute.

Input op amps allow the user to create summing amplifiers, lowpass or highpass filters, and select an optimal gain.

The MAX9736A/B/D are available in 32-pin TQFN packages and specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Product Detail

The MAX9736D evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested PCB that configures the MAX9736D Class D amplifier to drive 2 x 6W into a pair of 8Ω speakers in stereo mode, or 1 x 12W into a 4Ω speaker in mono mode for audio applications. The EV kit operates from an 8V to 28V DC power supply and is configured for 17dB gain. The MAX9736D EV kit accepts a pair of single-ended input signals and provides two sets of differential outputs for speakers.

The MAX9736D EV kit provides an option to control the shutdown, mute, modulation scheme, and mono mode of the MAX9736D. The EV kit includes convenient audio input and output connectors and the required output filters to ease evaluation.
